Then a hand was on her shoulder, shaking her.

"Hey, Parker," Maria's voice said.

Liz realized she was back in the van. No, she had always been there. The other place was just another… vision.

"What did you see, Liz?" Max asked, concern in his voice. He didn't even have to ask anymore if she had had a vision. He knew.

Taking a deep breath, Liz said, "An old house… a mansion, I think. It was dark and raining. We went inside." Liz turned to Maria. "Then I saw the inside. You were screaming, and something was chasing you."

Maria read something in Liz's face. "What else?" she asked.

Liz hesitated for just a moment before she said, "You were running down a hallway and fell off a balcony. That's all I saw."

"See, I think this is good. I think your power may finally be coming in handy," Michael said.

Maria's head shot back around, and she said, "Because saving all of your lives from the Special Unit on graduation wasn't helpful?" Michael started to respond, but Maria cut him off: "Like helping save those girls back in Stonewall… to say nothing of your own ass… wasn't helpful?"

Liz expected to witness another round in the perpetual battle of the sexes that was Michael and Maria's relationship. But, to Liz's surprise, Michael didn't reply immediately. He waited a few seconds, then he smiled.

"No, those were good too," he said. That got a chuckle out of Kyle in the back, and Liz found herself smiling as well. "What I was going to say," Michael continued, "is that we now have a specific warning that we can do something about. We'll just stay away from creepy mansions in the rain."

"What if it's fate?" Maria asked.

"Like you pointed out, Liz has helped us change our fate before," Max said.
